That comfort food you love is not just eaten with salt and tomato ketchup. French fries or glorified fried potato is given unique treatments in different areas around the world. Want to taste the difference? Well, you have to travel to these countries.
Mexican Fusion in San Diego, California.
Meat or as Mexicans say it, carne, is a good partner with fries. Hot fries topped with meat, onions and sour cream is enough to send you on a food coma.
Shake It In Japan
Japan has an interesting twist in your favorite fries. You can order it with furikake—powder made of garlic, bonito flakes and sesame powder. Put the fries and furikake inside a pouch, shake it, and enjoy.
Sloppy Cheese in Canada
If you are in Canada, you must try poutine. This is a sloppy mess of piping hot fries topped with gravy and cheesy curds. Forget about the calories, as this food will send you to a carbohydrate-lade heaven. It is served everywhere, even in popular food restaurants.
Herby in Germany
Fries in Germany resemble more of a roast potato than a fried one. However, the addition of onions, bacon and peppers bring a delicate taste to this oddly cut set of potatoes.
Onion-y in Russia
Who wants onion with those fries? Apparently, the Russians do. Their version is a greasy goodness full of explosive goodness. It is not recommended to eat it on the go but it is worth sitting down for.
In A Cone in Belgium
Belgians call this potato goodness "pommes frites". It is sold anywhere in Belgium. Fries are usually thick and crispy on the inside but very soft inside. Sauces are not limited to just tomato ketchup. "Pommes frites" are served hot inside a cardboard cone so that you can eat it while you walk.
